One In A Million

Aaliyah was truly 'One In A Million'. She was my favorite singer. Its hard to face the fact that she's gone. We all know that she's not here with us in person but we know that she is with us in spirit

from Baby Boy to Baby Girl

Aaliyah, even if I never met you, It feels like I've known you all of my life. I hate the fact that I have been looking for a girl like you, and it is true, you are one in a million. All the songs I am singing and for ever will be singing are dedicated to you and inspired by you. As I see you on my wall, my heart akes, as I hear you voice, my brain crumbles, I just want you to know I love you.

Aaliyah U Are 1 In A Million

My name is Khadisha Mc Millan.I loved Aaliyah ever since the first time I ever heard about her.She was so creative, intelligent, pretty and outstanding. I have always been able to relate to her songs and her quotes.Even though i never met her she was like a hero to me. Every time I would feel down i would just pop in her C.D and from there her voice would relax me telling me everything is ok. Aaliyah i really miss you, If i could go back in time I will give my life for yours. Like Janet said we will see you soon. R.I.P Babygirl. 1 luv.

Gorgeous. Talented. Great Body. Beautiful voice. And very missed.

Aaliyah, if you can hear me now, you are strongly missed and always will be remembered. You played wonderfully in your two great movies, Queen of the Damned and Romeo must Die, you will never be forgotten. We will cherish you in our hearts forever. WE ALL LOVE YOU DEARLY!

A SPECIAL PERSON IN MY HEART

My name is Jinelle Charles from the beautiful island of St.Thomas. Although I haven't meet you Aaliyah I've always enjoyed watching you on tv. I really believed that you would have made it in this world, #1. Everytime I hear your last song I cry because it reminds me of my best friend Adassa, who is probably with you right now. If you can hear me Aaliyah take of her for me please. You'll be missed very much. REST IN PEACE. Love You both

A admirable person: Aaliyah

Many people suffer her death and this book brings back good memories about this wonderful person. She was a very strong person, her songs always gave a moral to all those who listen to it.I am a huge fan of hers because she show me that you never expect the day of your death but u have to live the present to fullest.

Aaliyah: An R&B Princess in Words and Pictures

This book summarizes the life and times of Aaliyah Haughton. I thought I knew all there was to know about Aaliyah but I gained further insight into her personality. I knew she was a beautiful human being but this book paints a picture of an even more caring young lady. She was a person with a big heart and she was down to earth. That's to be commended considering she was in an industry where people are led to believe they are divas and kings. Aaliyah kept it real and that accentuated her beauty. By the way, the pictures are fabulous.
